- we remove trees and vegetation, change how we use land, and keep expanding paved areas landfills take up the area that was an ecosystem - hurts the balance of populations
- landfills chemicals go into water and soil that kills organisms causing a problem in food webs
- landfills can kill species in a certain area from killing its food source or killing it directly
- animals are being driven out of their natural habitats and forced into new unknown ones
- species are being driven into landfills as we pollute, cut down trees, and create more and more landfills
- garbage is transferred between animals that live in or close to landfills
- animals that have to live in landfills have to: - Adapt to living conditions - Eat garbage - Get garbage stuck to them - Food webs in a landfill - Many ants, worms, and other insects eat small trash reptiles may be present, feeding off of these insects - Birds eat the reptiles and the food web continues

Edward Burtynsky’s images have long explored the collective impact we as a species are having on the surface of the planet. From recycling yards, mine tailings, quarries, and refineries, this photo essay bears witness to a critical moment in geological history, capturing the breadth of impact that our human systems and technologies have imposed onto natural landscapes. Pitting our longing for comfort and our drive for consumption against the obvious toll such desires take on our planet, these images reflect back to us the ongoing dilemma of modern existence.
